Huo Tingxiao really wasn't surprised by such a result; he simply looked at Pei Zhao nonchalantly, as the two men's gazes met, triggering a silent, intense confrontation, like lightning striking fire against the ice and sun, neither yielding an inch.
The first plot of land actually ended up with a tied bid, causing an immediate uproar in the previously quiet conference room.
"How did it end up with a tied bid?"
"That is really strange."
"Was this intentional? How should this be settled, another bidding round?"
The people around murmured among themselves, and Mu Lan clearly hadn't expected such a situation, looking puzzled at Huo Tingxiao.
"What exactly is going on? Did you deliberately cause this scene?"
Huo Tingxiao tugged at the corner of his lips.
"Just a tactic of 'using a reverse strategy'."
A reverse strategy? Mu Lan was stunned; it seemed that Pei Zhao's attempt to subvert had failed and instead, Huo Tingxiao had outmaneuvered him.
